Yes. Both first and second generation languages are machine-dependent. The first generation of languages were machine code, while the second were assembly languages. Non-machine dependency came about with the advent of the third-generation of languages, all the high-level languages.
Machine language is a first generation language.
Machine code is first generation. Low-level, machine-dependent, symbolic languages such as assembly language are second generation. All high-level, machine-independent languages are third generation. Fourth and fifth generation don't actually have any meaning since there is no "standard" to define these terms, although they are often used to classify specific types of third-generation languages.
There is no such thing as a fourth generation language. Machine code is the first generation (the native language of the computer). Assembly language is the second generation (low-level symbolic language). All high-level (abstract) languages are third-generation. Although some languages claim to be fourth-generation or even fifth-generation, they are meaningless terms used by marketing types that tell you nothing about a language's capability.
Third generation. All high level languages are third generation. Assembly language and low-level symbolic languages are second generation languages. Machine code is the only first generation language. Although some languages have been described as being fourth or fifth generation, the terms have no official meaning (they were originally used by marketing types but are in fact meaningless).
The major disadvantage of fifth generation programming languages is that these languages won't be as good as sixth generation languages. It is also important to note that classification of programming languages in generations beyond the second generation is complete nonsense and nothing but a marketing hype; programming languages don't evolve in a linear succession, or one in the shape of a balanced tree, where each generation has common attributes and improvements over the previous generation.

All first generation programs are written entirely in machine code. Assembly language is a second generation language. All high-level languages are third generation. There are no official 4th or 5th generation languages; they are terms used by marketing types to make it appear that the latest programming language is superior in some unspecified way. Languages are categorised by their capabilities and paradigms, not by some "generation" tag that has no actual meaning.
Third generation. All high level languages are third generation. Assembly language and low-level symbolic languages are second generation languages. Machine code is the only first generation language.

Machine language.
The native language of any programmable machine is an integral aspect of its design; the language is machine-dependent and is defined by the machine itself rather than "written" independently of the machine. That is, in order to modify the language, you must modify the machine itself. The earliest known programmable machine was Basil Bouchon's partially automated loom, invented in 1725.
A first generation contact language is called a pigdin. The feature of human language that allows people to talk about the past and the future is referred to as displacement.
